How we work

Tree work, run like an operation.

  1. 01 Recce

    We survey first: access, hazards, and a TPO and conservation area check before anything is priced.

  2. 02 Brief

    You get a written plan: what will be done, by whom, and what happens to the waste.

  3. 03 Execute

    NPTC-qualified climbers and groundworkers do the work, £10M insured, to the plan.

  4. 04 Clear

    Chipped, swept and checked. We leave it tidier than we found it.

January

Good time for

  • Crown reductions and thinning on most deciduous trees: leaves off, so we can see every branch
  • Apple and pear pruning
  • Felling and bare-root planting while the ground is workable

Worth knowing

  • Birch, maple and walnut bleed sap if cut now. Leave them until late summer
